Chapter 844 - 787: Fierce Battle

The intersection of the East and West Realms saw Meng Zhuan being continuously attacked, his figure falling and drifting incessantly.

The Dao Palace had been bombarded several times already and now teetered on the brink, showing signs of collapse, and the Reincarnation Stone Platform was charred beyond recognition.

Under the constraint of techniques, this rise and fall left Lu Yuan steadily suppressing his opponent without respite, the folding fan in his Dharma Aspect’s hand inexorably pressing down on the Reincarnation Stone Platform, holding it firmly at bay.

The ten-zhang Dharma Aspect kept pounding, yet again pressing steadily toward the Dao Palace.

Now only Lu Yuan and the severely wounded Meng Zhuan remained, the two exchanged a brief glance, both brimming with killing intent.

Lu Yuan was assured of victory, resolute in his determination to kill the opponent.

Meng Zhuan, knowing he couldn’t escape, could only fight desperately to survive.

In a split second, like lightning, Lu Yuan’s figure flashed and disappeared, appearing right before Meng Zhuan in the blink of an eye. His spiritual power surged forward like a tidal wave, scraping bone and corrosively searing flesh like a blade.

In an instant, Meng Zhuan’s already charred chest caved in, and a mere clash of spiritual power had already determined the victor.

"Die!"

At that moment, the Dharma Aspect behind Lu Yuan suddenly appeared, the folding fan in its hand unleashing flames across the sky, engulfing Meng Zhuan in mere moments. The fists of the Dharma Aspect simultaneously pummeled within the flames unceasingly!

In the midst of earth-shaking tumult, when the flames receded, only a charred ground remained; Meng Zhuan’s figure had long vanished.

The Reincarnation Hall’s Hall Master, Meng Zhuan of the Ten Dao Palaces, was dead!

As the battle concluded, the Celestial Dao Sect disciples around began wrapping up too.

Originally, Hun Bugui had brought cultivators over mainly to harass, with not many in number, and facing the encirclement by the Celestial Dao Sect cultivators, they were all annihilated after mere moments of resistance.

Subsequently, cultivators began descending one after another, starting to busily transport various items across the barren land.

Stone pillars rose one by one, spreading continuously, stretching across a full mile.

Following this, a stone platform gradually took shape at the central position, increasing in height until it reached ten zhang tall.

Lu Yuan watched coldly from a high place, observing the arrangement as it gradually began. Only then did he look out toward the overseas direction.

Hun Bugui escaped swiftly, fleeing from the sea to the East Sea within moments.

However, Shi Xiu and Beigui failed to escape, continuing to fight while advancing deeper into the sea domain, unwittingly reaching the Endless Sea Domain.

Here was the place where millennia of friction and struggle had transpired between the two sides, and now having reached here, it seemed quite fitting.

The contention begins here and ends here as well.

Within the sea domain, towering waves rolled, raising a thousand tidal surges, as the sound of the water was terrifying.

The Dao Palace glimmered on the sea surface, illuminating the scene brightly.

The Dharma Aspect appeared like a giant within the sea, constantly stirring and overturning.

Two treasures were simultaneously thrown out, crashing continuously, creating a tremendous buzzing sound that suspended water droplets from the sea surface, like sudden rain falling toward the sky.

Shi Xiu’s graceful posture was drenched, revealing distinct curves, but unfortunately, no one present appreciated it.

She felt a bit cold, a chill stemming from within, unprecedentedly making her, a cultivator at the Divine Dao Realm, shiver.

Beigui also felt cold, as if his blood was about to freeze.

This situation was beyond what they had anticipated.

Never did they expect such disgrace.

Never did they expect such a huge gap after millennia of difference in strength between the two sides.

Shi Xiu should have been most restrictive to cultivators, as her ghostly soul’s ability to capture souls was tough for any normal man to resist.

However, it seemed these two were no longer normal people.

Still not giving up, she unleashed the ghostly soul’s ability again, darkened the sky within ten miles, causing ghostly souls to swarm out mightily, encircling around Maitreya and Zhentu.

Yet the two remained calm, unable to fall into the Maze Array at all.

Since they couldn’t fall into it, half of Shi Xiu’s domain became useless; while the ghostly soul could destroy one’s physical body, no cultivator of the same cultivation realm would stand idly and let it happen.

Not to mention two cultivators whose cultivation was a notch higher and their methods were much more ruthless.

Two Dharma Aspects simultaneously attacked, and after integrating themselves quickly, they combined with the Dharma Aspects, making them suddenly swell to a height of thirty zhang, approaching Shi Xiu and Beigui with an unstoppable posture.

The Dao Palace barely resisted a few breaths before being smacked away, facing the mountain-like figures, the two’s faces turned extremely pale.

"If you want to survive, hold them off for ten breaths!"

Suddenly, Shi Xiu turned her head and spoke with a deep voice.

What would ten breaths accomplish?

Enough to cast Wangchuan Bridge, guiding the two back!

Otherwise, they would both perish.

Unless someone went out to block them, buying time for the other.

This was no different from cannon fodder, but Beigui had no choice.

If he didn’t go and block them, death was certain.

If he went to block them and Shi Xiu managed to escape, there was even a chance she could take him along.

As long as he wasn’t too stupid, he would take the gamble.

Fortunately, he wasn’t stupid.

"If you can escape, take me along. If you can’t... it means I was fated to die!"

It was clear Beigui was already prepared to die.

Shi Xiu nodded deeply, if possible, she wouldn’t mind taking him along.

If it was impossible, she wouldn’t be able to help.

"Don’t worry!"

Saying deeply, she swiftly retreated a mile, and Beigui gritted his teeth, quickly combining the Reincarnation Tower and the Dao Palace.

Even if he knew the opponent would counter him, this was his strongest measure for now.

A formidable suction emerged from the Dao Palace, while the bells inside the tower rang fiercely, humming and tolling.

The two Dharma Aspects paused simultaneously, Maitreya and Zhentu exchanged murderous looks and advanced instead of retreating, entering the Dao Palace along with the suction.

The bell tolled rhythmically, yet failed to resound reincarnation and world-shattering echoes.

The Dao Palace, vast, was still not as grand as the two Dharma Aspects.

Boom!

The first sound echoed, shattering the Reincarnation Tower into fragments.

Boom!

The second sound echoed, the Dao Palace dissipated into specks of light, collapsing in the void.

Beigui’s face was already marked by the aura of death, he was out of means.

He could no longer hold on.

Behind him, Shi Xiu tossed out Wangchuan Bridge barely in time, as Beigui let out a bitter smile.

Too late.

Without shouting again, he rapidly enveloped the area in the Netherworld Ghosts and Demons as learned from Yama Hall, including the two inside, gritting his teeth harshly, then shouted.

"Explode for me!"

This was akin to Han Yu’s method, except Han Yu could use it multiple times while they could only once in a lifetime.

The enormous energy surged, swallowing all three instantly, and when the Dharma Aspect emerged from the energy field, Beigui had long turned into ashes, leaving Shi Xiu to flee more than ever.

Thus, the Hall Master of the Ten Dao Palaces was diminished by another.

The Hall Master of the Reincarnation Palace, Beigui, was dead!

This time the confrontation grew in intensity.

Almost no longer covert, countless Celestial Dao Sect cultivators advanced from overseas and intruded into the area where the East and West Realms intersect.

Hun Bugui’s immediate return went straight to the Punishment Hall.

He had escaped twice already, and if he couldn’t display his role soon, he’d be the first to be punished.

Inside the Punishment Hall, Wu Tang stood before a bronze mirror, eyes closed in contemplation, pondering something unknown.

Upon Hun Bugui’s entry, fearful expression and urgent voice followed, "Something wrong has happened, the Celestial Dao Sect is taking full action this time."

Not only had the elders under Qionghua Hall all emerged, but cultivators were also coming one after another.

He was in charge of harassment, with a clear view of both the East and West Realms.

And having witnessed the sea domain blockade, he knew the Celestial Dao Sect was playing it too big this time.

It even felt like they wanted to overturn the table completely.

Are they getting impatient?

"They won’t want to overturn the table."

Wu Tang’s slightly closed eyes opened slightly, giving a cold smile.

"Even if we want to overturn the table, they wouldn’t agree."

But Hun Bugui remained incredibly tense; the intersection of the two realms was likely already set up.

"They’re setting it up over there?"

Wu Tang’s expression darkened, that place is special.

It was once the site for opening the eye of the array.

Yet pointless for the present.

Why would the Celestial Dao Sect select that location for setup?

Targeting the sacred artifact?

For a moment, Wu Tang had to become cautious.

Outside the hall, a sudden ruckus emerged as Shi Xiu rushed in disheveled, and when she saw Hun Bugui beside her, she nearly ground her teeth in fury.

"Bastard!"
